STRI to launch new service


The Sports Turf Research


Institute (STRI) is to launch a new programme to measure golf greens in an objective way at BTME Week 2010.


STRI claim the new


programme improves the playing quality and consistency of performance on golf green.


Addagrip, has introduced a


series of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminars designed for Architects, Quantity Surveyors,


Contractors,


Housebuilders and Building Services Engineers. The presentations offer guidance on surfacing options and encompass information on both the resin bonded and resin bound porous systems.


The


presentation is conducted by experienced technical engineer, Tim Hopkins from Addagrip, giving attendants the opportunity to gain bespoke project advice through a question and answer session


included in the presentation. Addagrip manufactures a


range of exterior surfacing products including Addastone, Addaset and Addagrip Eco Pave, which use a range of sustainable and recycled aggregates to provide a low maintenance and hard wearing surface with the appearance of natural stone. Addagrip’s high quality


exterior resin surfacing systems can be used for a range of applications from domestic drives and paths to parks, monuments and heritage sites.

installed, a 40 metre long wood & steel ramp at Birmingham University Institute of Art & Design is fit to use thanks to slip resistant flooring from Steni UK. A composite of glass fibre polyester resin and stone, its fine aggregate surface is over bonded with clear resin to give a long- lasting anti-slip surface for ramps, step covers, walkways, pontoons, bridges and deckings. Health and safety manager Eric Mead commented “the Steni

product met the requirement we needed and it was very easy to work with, just requiring a drill and screws. The material acts perfectly with the wood and the executive of the faculty were very impressed with the appearance and suitability for purpose.” Steni’s Antislip flooring is


available in a choice of seven colours for timber, metal and concrete in new-build and refurbishment projects. Extremely robust and durable, it can be walked on immediately after installation,

DECEMBER 2009 Help is at hand for


long term control With dichlobenil having


lost its registration amenity managers might be wondering what replacement solutions are available to give long term control of broad-leaved weeds and grasses. Dow AgroSciences say help is at hand with a tank mix of Flexidor* 125 and Kerb* Flo. In combination, these two products are claimed to offer excellent control of a wide range of problem broad-leaved and grass weeds in amenity situations. For best results, Flexidor


125, at 2 litres per hectare, should be mixed with Kerb Flo at 4.25 litres per hectare, and applied in the autumn and winter, when the soil is moist and before broad-leaved weeds start to germinate. To minimise this risk, spray


operators should ensure there is a grass buffer strip between the area of application and any watercourse and should not apply the mixture to a hard surface. Care should also be taken when spraying ornamental plantings near turf to avoid damage to grasses. Flexidor 125 and Kerb Flo will both be available through Rigby Taylor for the amenity market.

transformed two former landfill sites to establish the new community woodland called Town Lane. The 26ha site was created


over four months. It is hoped that a new cycle track, mountain bike skills course and wildlife habitats will be created. The Northwest Regional
